"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life » 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (6, 60-69) 

At that time, Jesus had given a teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum. Many of his disciples, who had heard, said: “This is a harsh saying! Who can hear it? Jesus knew to himself that his disciples were complaining about him. He said to them: "Does this scandalize you? And when you see the Son of man ascend where he was before!… It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is not capable of anything. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. But there are some among you who do not believe. Jesus knew from the beginning who were those who disbelieved, and who it was who would betray him. He added: “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is given to him by the Father. "

From that moment on, many of his disciples returned and stopped accompanying him. Then Jesus said to the Twelve: "Do you want to go too?" Simon Peter answered him: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. As for us, we believe, and we know that you are the Holy One of God. "
